Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

Met sir Edwin just a while ago. Sulit na sulit yung binili ko along with a couple of tutorials!

Mukang mapapa-gamit ako ng polish ngayon ah..

Nakita ko na yung black CR-V, puros swirls, deep scratches, at di na makintab.

Paano ba nila nililinis yung CR-V? kanebo Chamois + running water. Kahit maputik.

Result = disaster.

Nighthawk black pa naman.

Guys, any idea magkano at ilang sessions ang seminar sa Meguiar's Kamias? Baka may iba pa kayong alam na nagbibigay ng "Detailing for Dummies" na hands-on seminar? Basic know-how lang naman habol ko, at para narin may mapagpraktisan na auto. :D

migz, oo nga ano. hehehe ambon lng naman kasi kaya cguro ganyan

[x_jason_x]

If im not mistaken California yung brand niya. Yung chenile wash mitts niya mas makapal at mas maraming "fingers" kesa sa microtex na wash mitt

Dude galing ako sa S&R kanina pero I was a bit hesitant to buy the washmitts + towels.

Guys ano ba masusuggest niyo na best washmitt sa market? Meron kasi MF washmitt, chenille washmitt, etc etc. Ano ba pinakamaganda and what brand?

tama boss un nga

[madkatz]

oo nga confusinfg yung name nya super resin polish... hmmmm

halos wala pa ako sa kalahati na ng buong thread na to.. hirap tapusin hindi ko matapos pero tatapusin ko to....=)

matesting nga yung Deep crystal paint cleaner ng megs bago ako mag polish. 369 lang dito eh.

*madkatz

meaning yung Nxt gen tech wax 2.0 nakakatanggal ng swirl? meaning nafifill nya ung mga swirl? tapos after several car wash lalabas ulit sya?

per advantage nito hindi ka nag sacrifice ng clear mo? tama ba ako? hmmmm

dami kasing swirl ng sa akin nung pumwesto ako dati sa lamp post ng meralco.. kitang kita parang pwede ng lumambitin si spider man...hehe

NXT 2.0 is very good at filling swirls but this is on bare paint, meaning paint that doesn't have any sealants on it, i found out that NXT doesn't fill quite as much when the paint has a sealant beneath it, and yes after a few more washes its gone and you'll see the swirls again

and yeah with NXT you don't sacrifice clear coat, some people do is layer multiple sealants that cover up swirls and scratches

wow nice nice research matagal ko na hinahanap yan... buti swirlx muna binili ko. less aggressive sya.. wow yung UC at scratch X halos nasa dulo na. bakit nawala dito yung rubbing compound?

Actually UC is far more aggressive than scratchX, UC is actually pretty much like 105 already, some people even say they're the same, and 105 is the replacement for rubbing compound with the new SMAT product line, the old rubbing compound m84 has the same cut as scratchX.

for me the best washmitts are Lambswool washmitt and MF chenille washmitts, don't get the cotton chenile washmitts since they don't last as long as MF washmitts, for me i like Microtex brand better because of all the washmitts i've used this one absorbs the most shampoo solution and this is the toughest i've used so far, second best suggestion is Megs Lambswool

Meron ako microtex washmitt para sakin mas maganda yung California washmitts kesa microtex. Mas marami yung fingers niya at mas makapal.


Hehe kung the best yung mga sheepskin na washmitts ang the best pero mahal
